    It is disappointing that Biden only requested changing the schedule rather than descheduling it all together. Not ideal, but a hell of a lot better than now.

    Which is actually the reasonable thing to do here. Marijuana is not something that doesn’t have brain-altering side effects. It has pretty clear effects which could impair driving, etc - It doesn’t need to be descheduled completely; that would be asinine.

      Is alcohol scheduled? Is it regulated? I feel like morons are making excuses for control because it’s got stigma. You know the real reason weed is a schedule 1?

        Mostly racism towards Mexicans plus fear that the hemp industry would bankrupt some old rich families.

        I’d love for alcohol to be scheduled too. Make 'em all Schedule V. I’m tired of seeing “First DUI” cases get slaps on the wrist and a driving course.

          Take your prohibitionist bullshit and shove it puritan. Wanna lower DUIs then advocate for expansions to public transit.

                Your country is the size of one of our large cities.

                Europe is a far more dense place than America. Public transit makes sense there. The EU has an average density of 112 people per square km compared to 36 in the USA.

                  It gets even better: I can just walk to the grocery store and ride my bicycle to work.

                  Do the US really build neighbourhoods without stores in walking distance?

                    The closest store to me is 5 miles away. And even then, it’s a gas station, not a full-on store.

              You’re weak, and you need substances to abuse in order to continue on your pathetic existence.

              There are plenty of reasons to drink a beer other than not having the “steel to handle the real world” on your own.

              For instance, having to deal with annoying pricks like yourself.

              Aw did a strike a nerve puritan, sorry to break it to ya but im one of my clean kinsmen fun thing about extreme genetic drug resistance ya dont feel shit to it. Alcohol taste like shit as well, closest I get is sweet cider.

              I just aint into telling folks what to do, so long as it aint too damaging to other folks. Plus im bound to the bloodlust of mine kin not the alcoholism of mine ancestors. Regardless what you see as a moral failure I see as what is folks enjoying themselves. Sure it can be self destructive but whomst am I to judge I enjoy fighting to a utterly unhealthy degree.

              So in summary can ya go feed thineself to a Joshua Tree theys gettin’ hungry.

          Public education, impound, and jail time for DUI have had the most impact. You don’t need to schedule alcohol to do that. And you don’t need the age 21 drinking law.

      Driving under the influence is completely seperate and would still be illegal. Same as it is for alcohol
